It was a tie between Scotty and James for the biggest reaction as the Idols Tour came to Boardwalk Hall

One of the best parts about the American Idols Tour is seeing how the performers have improved thanks to their experience of touring. Being able to relax and sing while being adored rather than judged is a major theme when the performers talk about the experience.
And that’s just the way it appeared Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall as the Top 11 finalists wore their fancy costumes and showed off their impressive skills minus the terror of elimination.
I’ve said it before but this time is really does apply: this group of Idols has the best overall talent level in the history of the show. Some are obviously stronger than others but there are no stiffs in the bunch. And the diversity of their talent, from country to hard rock to jazz and R&B makes for a night that never has any lulls.
The Idols kick off the show with the ladies going Gaga with “Born This Way.” Next up it was pop diva Pia Toscano showing off her chops with “Empire State of Mind.” The energy level picked up when Stefano Langone joined her for a power pop duet of Rihanna’s “California King Bed.”
If you are a fan of the various Real Housewives reality shows, you know that the interaction can really get heated up, whether the setting is New York City, New Jersey, Atlanta, Beverly Hills or Orange County. Whether these same sparks fly when various representatives from the shows come together for the first ever Real Housewives Live Tour is up for debate.
Pleasantville’s own Rodney Jerkins is one of the producers for Pia Toscano’s debut album. Her first single, “This Time,” was released on digital format July 12. In an interview with Atlantic City Weekly, Toscano talks about the tour and her future plans.
This season’s group of American Idols made its Atlantic City visit this year much earlier than in past years. Therefore, the Idols you saw on the TV show are pretty much the Idols you get on tour.
